""Francis Bacon Our Shakespeare"" by Edwin Reed is a book that explores the theory that Francis Bacon, rather than William Shakespeare, was the true author of the plays and poems attributed to Shakespeare. The book delves into the historical context of the time period, examining Bacon's life and work as well as Shakespeare's. Reed presents evidence and arguments to support his theory, including linguistic analysis and comparisons of the writing styles of both Bacon and Shakespeare.
